headers
 

im going to buy some im just wondering how much it will cost to convert my exhaust from the manifolds to the headers...i dont wanna redo my hole exhaust.

Re: headers
 

well the way i do it you will replace the exhaust.. youll throw some mufflers on the ends of the headers then a pipe to either go out the side or the back... not sure if you need a cat or not on your truck.. mine doesnt

Re: headers
 

sorry i wasnt clear.but it allready has a full (not stock) exhaust

hope this helps VVV

Re: headers
 

I would get a set up shorties or mid length that would bolt up to a stock exhaust, that way they should just replace the manifolds and still bolt up to your existing system.

im getting a realy good deal on long tubes ,new in the box

Re: headers
 

i got long tubes with a dyno max dual exhaust kit im happy with em

Re: headers
 

Sounds like your only option then is to have the collectors moved further down on the existing tubes.

Re: headers
 

Since you're going to cut the exhaust anyway you might want to make or buy another transmission cross member that will allow you to square up the exhaust and run both sides evenly in the frame rails,

Re: headers
 

If you're going to remove the stock exhaust manifolds and mount the headers yourself, cut the pipe six or eight inches in front of the tranny crossmember and use a couple of coathangers to tie them up to the crossmember. Remove the old, install the headers, and drive down the the muffler shop. Probably won't be more than $50 to mate the new headers from the collector to the existing exhaust.

Muffler shops thrive on quick turn-around, and most of them hate or refuse to do headers.

If you drop your truck off as-is, with new headers in the box, I'd expect to pay at least $200 - and that'd be a repeat customer price. It could easily be double that.

Re: headers
 

local muffler shop which the owner is a family friend wanted $350 just to install the headers on mine and another $200 to install the rest of the kit did it my self and had about $350 in it with everything and it took about 9 hours all together
